Neumann KM 183 Omnidirectional Small-diaphragm Condenser Microphone - Nickel (KM183NI)

The KM 183 is a state-of-the-art small diaphragm condenser microphone with a frequency-independent omnidirectional polar pattern. Its very natural, transparent sound with very low self-noise and high SPL capability have made the KM 183 a worldwide studio standard for many applications ranging from classical piano to heavy metal drums.

FEATURES

• Omnidirectional polar pattern with excellent off-axis behavior
• Diffuse-field equalized
• Pressure transducer with unlimited bass response
• Very low self-noise (13 dB-A)
• Transformerless circuitry
• Compact size, visually unobtrusive
